Definition

  • Terroir is a concept introduced by French winemakers to portray the characteristics of the place where grapes are grown that help define a wine's aroma, flavor, and other components sensed by the consumer. A wine that reflects its geographic origin thus expresses its terroir. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Wine Terroir]
